Version 1.0
"The Mountain Song"  
By: Jane's Addiction 
Tabbed by: Vincent Millar :broken_@hotmail.com

This is The CORRECT way to play the mountain song, i am almost 
sure of everything, but the solo uses a lot of effects, so unless 
you have a wah and a delay you will have to improvise a great deal,
 i use the whammy bar to improvise for the echo type effect. Feel 
free to send correctioms and comments, I know there could be a few 
errors. I made up the base chorus as I have no idea what it is.

Legend:
~ = whammy bar stroke
h= hammer on
p= pull off
x= scratch
/= slide up
= slide down

Lyrics:
comin' down the mountain 
one of many children 
everybody has 
their own opinion 
everybody has 
their own opinion 
holding it back 
hurts so bad 
jumping out of my flesh 
and i said -
cash in! 
cash in now honey 
cash in now 
cash in now 
cash in now honey
cash in miss smith 
cash in now!
i was comin down the mountain 
met a child she had pin eyes 
we had the same opinion 
had the same opinion 
she was holding it back 
it hurts do bad
jumping out of my flesh 
and i said -
cash in! 
cash in now honey 
cash in now 
cash in now 
cash in now honey 
cash in miss smith 
cash in now!
